Accepting an invitation in TB propagates to Lightning, but not to Google Calendar (Lightning 5.4.7; Provider for GC 3.3; TB 52.7.0) -- should this work?
I've followed the advice everywhere about how to install Lightning and Provider GC. I think I have all the right versions. And it's a clean install on a brand new Mac powerbook. Adding and adjusting events in GC does propagate to the Lightning calendar. Adding a new event from Lightning to a selected GC works fine. But adding to the Lightning "Home" calendar does not propagate. This is especially troublesome with accepting invitations, because there is no option to allocate them away from the Home calendar. So I seem to be missing a bit of the synchronisation that I expected. This is supposed to work, right? Can someone help me troubleshoot the last little bit here, please.

Calendars have an email address associated with them. Lightning is the calendar manager for Thunderbird. The Home calendar is the default calendar created when you install Lightning and it is a local only calendar. You seem to have the email address you receive these invitations on associated with the Home calendar. I am on an android device so I cannot access Lightning but going on memory you right click the calendar folder in the folder pane on the left and select settings or properties to make the needed changes. I recently read a post from another user that claims to have removed address association from all his calendars and when an invite comes in he can select the calendar to add it to then. I cannot confirm this works.
